Abstract: Digital anti-jam apparatus includes a CPU; N spectrum analysis and band rejection (SABR) modules, each receiving a digital quadrature signal input, outputting a spectral data output, and outputting a quadrature output with interference band rejected; the CPU first places the SABR modules into a spectral analysis (SA) mode, and upon detection of interference, places the SABR modules into a band rejection (BR) mode while the interference continues; N N-to-1 multiplexers, whose quadrature outputs are connected to corresponding SABR modules, wherein the CPU controls whether to connect an input of each multiplexer either to the quadrature signal input or to the quadrature band-reject output of any other SABR module; a (N+1)-to-1 multiplexer, connected to the quadrature signal input or to the quadrature output of any SABR module; and a frequency conversion module, that receives output of the (N+1)-to-1 multiplexer and shifts a spectrum of the digital quadrature signal input.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining a position and attitude of a marker having encoded information includes the step of acquiring an image of a marker by a stereo camera. A center of the marker is determined and then a position of the marker is determined based on the center of the marker. A plurality of vertices on the marker about the center of the marker are then determined. Using the plurality of vertices, a pitch, roll, and heading of the marker are determined. An attitude of the marker is determined based on the pitch, roll, and heading of the marker. The method and/or apparatus for determining a position and attitude of a marker can be used in various applications to determine the position and attitude of objects on which the marker is located.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for determining the position and orientation of an implement on a work machine in a non-contact manner using machine vision. A 3D camera, which is mounted on the vehicle with a field of view that includes components on the implement (e.g., markers in some examples), determines a three-dimensional position in a local coordinate system of each of the components. A global positioning system in cooperation with an inertial measurement unit determines a three-dimensional position and orientation of the 3D camera in a global coordinate system. A computing system calculates a three-dimensional position in the global coordinate system for the components using the local three-dimensional positions of the components and the global three-dimensional position and orientation of the 3D camera. The position and orientation of the implement can then be calculated based on the calculated global three-dimensional positions of the components.

Abstract: A method for machine grade assist includes determining whether user input will cause an implement of a machine to dig below a desired grade. User input to move a stick of an excavator can be blocked and/or delayed using hydraulic pressure so that movement of both the stick and the boom of the excavator can be synchronized to prevent a bucket of the excavator from digging below a desired grade when the stick is moved.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the precise location of a target on a surface by utilizing a plurality of objects that are fixed in their position proximate to the location, thereby constituting a plurality of fixed reference points, upon which the target(s) resides or is otherwise located. The plurality of fixed references points are used either in conjunction with images of the target or certain distance measurements between the target and the fixed reference points to determine the precise location of the target(s) on the surface.

Abstract: Method of reducing multipath effects on phase measurements, including receiving radio signals with different pseudo-random codes transmitted by at least four base stations, each at particular frequency received by one channel; measuring delay difference and phase difference from different pairs of base stations; calculating a current position of the receiver based on the measured phase differences and delay differences, wherein the base stations differ in pseudo-random codes at same frequencies or differ in carrier frequency or polarization type if using the same pseudo-random codes, and wherein a number of channels in the receiver exceeds a number of channels needed for the calculating of the current position; detecting anomalous jumps in phase of one or more channels, based on first or second derivative of the phase, as being indicative of multipath signal reception; removing those channels from calculation of current position; and calculating current position based on remaining channels.

Abstract: Determining vehicle orientation based on GNSS signals received by three antennas that are logically combined into two pairs, with one antenna common for both pairs. GNSS receiver measures first carrier phase difference within each pair of antennas, represented as sum of an integer number of periods of the carrier frequency and a fractional part of the period. The fractional parts are used to compute orientation of the vector connecting the antennas phase centers within each pair, excluding integer ambiguity resolution. Vehicle attitude is calculated from the orientation of two non-collinear vectors with a common origin, measured by two pairs of antennas. Each antenna has an RF front end. All RF front ends, heterodynes, digital navigation processors of this receiver are clocked from one common clock oscillator. All carrier phase measurements of the three antennas are performed on a common time scale.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting a height of an implement mounted on a body of a vehicle as the vehicle travels over a terrain are provided. Sensor data is received from a set of sensors disposed on the vehicle. A trajectory associated with the vehicle is determined based on the received sensor data. A profile of the terrain is estimated based on the determined trajectory associated with the vehicle. A ditch is detected in the terrain and compensation values for adjusting the height of the implement are determined based on the estimated profile of the terrain to compensate for the detected ditch. One or more control signals are transmitted to one or more actuators for adjusting the height of the implement based on the determined compensation values.
